A. How to Treat Colic in Babies Colic is common in babies and usually improves by 3-4 months of age, but it can be distressing. Here are some effective ways to manage it: Burp After Feeding – Always burp your baby after feeding to release trapped gas, which can reduce discomfort. Proper Feeding Position – Hold your baby upright while feeding to prevent swallowing air. Gentle Belly Massage – A light clockwise tummy massage can help relieve gas and ease colic pain. Warm Compress – Placing a warm (not hot) towel on the baby’s tummy can soothe stomach cramps. Bicycle Leg Exercise – Moving your baby’s legs in a cycling motion helps release trapped gas. White Noise or Rocking – Soft sounds, rocking, or swaddling can help calm a fussy baby. Check Your Diet (if breastfeeding) – Avoid gas-causing foods like dairy, caffeine, and spicy foods if they seem to worsen colic. Use Anti-Colic Drops (if advised) – Consult your doctor for simethicone or gripe water, which can help with gas relief. If your baby’s crying is excessive, worsens, or is accompanied by vomiting, fever, or diarrhea, consult a pediatrician to rule out other medical issues.
